Maybe it's especially crap. An old G5 2G Dual. About 5 and a half years old now. I suspect the graphics card myself but I'm no expert.
And we're not just talking about the h.264 files from the 5D2, but other files as well. Some OK some not.

Wow. A G5 dual? I'm surprised it'll even play 5D Mark II files at all. I'm pretty sure all the optimizations being rolled into Mac software these days is 99% focused on the Intel chips. I don't think the video card in the G5 is going to make much difference, either.
When I got my Macbook Pro (when they first came out) I ran some simple benchmarks, and even at that time the MBP Core Duo outran my old (long since buried) G5 Dual by a factor of two. And as OS and app updates optimized further, the G5 was completely left in the dust.
